On Monday, I began attending the Partial Program at Arbour Counseling. I enjoy talking about my state of mind and past history, but I do not enjoy other aspects of group therapy. I feel it is not time efficient for me, and it often induces boredom. I am attending the program because it is one of my parents’ wishes that I need to comply to in order to continue living in their home. So how do I feel? Mixed emotions. I am not enjoying my time currently as much as I enjoyed my time in distant lands. I have reflected on my past, and I have come to certain conclusions. I have a history of erratic, impulsive behavior. I keep juggling my soccer ball in various locations for the thrill of it, and I have a history of traveling to foreign lands (Havana , Mexico City, Montreal, and Washington D.C.) for similar reasons. I also blab about my blog a lot ( https://jeffreytfarrell.blogspot.com ). Since I have been able to travel alone off of the money I made independently, I can conclude that I was...

My Recent Trip. Chronicled with photos of ticket stubs, receipts, and my soccer balls. Mexico City, Mexico -> Havana, Cuba -> Montreal, Canada -> Boston, MA -> Dedham, MA (home)

On Friday, I was discharged from Newton-Wellesley Hospital after a month of being confined against my will. I certainly enjoy the greater freedom I have on the outside, along with the increased computer usage. So how do I feel? Actually a tad worse than the days leading up to the incident. I was cranky on the day of the incident, but before that, I was blissfully content juggling in D.C. and eating their overpriced pizza. Maybe I need to juggle a soccer ball again to get back into a good mood. I don't really experience depression...ever (well, nearly ever). In general, I'm more likely to be anxious than depressed and more likely to be bored than anxious. I get bored very easily, and I need to be entertained almost constantly. I have been like this since I was a child, and I have coping mechanisms for it; when hospitalized, my coping mechanisms are removed. And I am currently not hearing voices in my head. I keep repeating this, because people ask me a lot. I heard voice...

My health insurance is all squared away now. Everything related to it will take effect Tuesday next week. When I wake up Tuesday (Nov. 13) , the Partial Program will be funded for me. My meds were just increased. Before, I took meds only at nights, but now I have morning meds too. I’m not quite sure why this change was brought about, as I do not know what symptoms are being exhibited to cause such a shift. What have I been up to? I’ve mostly been chilling here, chatting to everyone in English and Spanish. Me gusta practicar mi espanol. Some of the people who speak Spanish here don’t like talking to me in Spanish, and they ignore me. Some of them talk to me in Spanish though, like a female custodian I recently met. Ella es muy simpatica. I also printed out a PDF on Esperanto, in the hopes of learning this language. I’m starting to have second thoughts though. I might prefer learning a language like French, which is more actively used. My mom told me she’d bring in an iPod (I’ve never ac...

Right now, I am currently at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. I am not permitted to leave, and I was brought here against my will Oct. 19, 2018. When I am released, I plan on going home. I want to take a picture or video of myself eating pizza on the couch by the window in the living room. I want to attend the Partial Program at Arbour Counseling in Jamaica Plain, the same place as last time. I intend to attend the program for its 2 week duration. One of the counselors speaks Spanish. And unlike last year, I will be able to converse with her in Spanish. I already left Betsy (my favorite counselor) a voicemail detailing my current situation and my desire to continue the Partial Program in the near future (as soon as I depart from Newton-Wellesley Hospital). I already contacted my social worker about my current lack of health insurance, and she has stated that she pinged my financial counselor about the matter. If I had it my way, I’d be out of Newton-Wellesley Hospital today (obviously...to a...

Spanish was not spoken in my house as a child; my father’s side of the family is of Irish ancestry, and my mother’s side of the family is of Scottish and British ancestry. Growing up, I took basic classes in middle school and high school. I learned only enough to barely survive in a Spanish-speaking country. Then, May 11 this year, I actually flew to Mexico City and lived there for a few months. I used AirBnb for lodging, at first living on Calle 174 in Venustiano Carranza with a girl my age named Astrid and her mother. The house was within walking distance from the international airport. Immersion was key to my success in learning Spanish. To basically function, I had to use this foreign tongue. I read signs on the street and labels on products in stores. Also, in the action of merely purchasing an item, I got to practice Spanish. Going to the local Walmart for the first time was quite the experience... I frequented the market close to where I resided, and I offered free English less...

I acquired a permit for street performances in the city of Cambridge, MA. https://www.instagram.com/p/BogpNpZnEdQ/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet I busked (did street performances for cash) in Harvard Square and outside the student center of MIT. I barely made any money (only enough to buy pizza each time), but I enjoyed it quite thoroughly. In a conversation with one of my Mexican friends via Facebook Messenger, it was recommended that I try busking in NYC or D.C., as there are more people in these locations. Hence, I said goodbye to some Dedham acquaintances (workers at the library, 7-Eleven, Dunkin Donuts, etc.) and set off for D.C. I took a Greyhound bus from South Station to Union Station. In South Station, I got bored, and a kind stranger took a video of me juggling. https://www.facebook.com/jeff.farrell.9699/videos/715810115472093/?l=3630352978807989837 I was in D.C. from Oct. 10, 2018 to Oct. 18, 2018 (roughly? I don’t recall exactly. You can check the dates of my ...

Soon later, one of the Canadians kindly to...

Age: 26. 22 East Riverside Drive, Dedham, MA. YouTube playlist (~33 videos): https://bit.ly/2R01J89 I was born on April 6, 1992 to Jeffrey Farrell and Darlene (Thomas) Farrell. My father’s side is of Irish ancestry, and my mother’s side is of Scottish and British ancestry. I have two siblings: an older sister Madison and a younger brother Mackenzie (Mack for short). I grew up on 22 East Riverside Drive, Dedham, MA in a middle class home. I was a late talker. I was told that, at a young age, my older sister would often speak on my behalf. I started playing soccer at about age 5. I also played hockey at a young age, but I quit it early on in life. I was more interested in progressing in soccer. I picked up chess a tad later in life, probably around third or fourth grade. I attended Riverdale for elementary school. My favorite teachers were the male teachers (male teachers understood me better). Mr Capone was my fourth grade teacher. Mr Hazel was my fifth grade teacher. I also ...
